Surname Saturday - Glover

Early this month, Brenda, at Journey to the Past, posted her Surname Saturday - Glover. Through the comments we discovered that we are cousins. That got me back to looking at my Glover lines and I reconnected with another cousin, in Pittsburgh. (She doesn't have a blog, but she writes very well and should start one!)

Their ancestor, Alexander Glover, and my ancestor, David Glover were second cousins. Both lived in Conway, Hampshire, MA at the same time and both moved to Phelps, Ontario, NY about the same time. Many descendants of both men moved further west to Michigan.

I have an Alice Glover in my family tree. She was born about 1760 in Lancashire, England and married my John Ellam in 1780 in Winwick, Lancashire. Sadly, I don't go any further back so I don't know her parents names.
